I believe there is the compass c-probe that should provide a host of sensors including airspeed. Its supported by xcsoar. I had a quick look at the probes you are talking about: https://www.paraglidingnewyork.com/store/paragliding-airspeed-sensor-p-131.html?osCsid=260ldmh9oha00nstjllj6i7311 They seem to plug into existing PG/HG sensor platforms such as the braueniger/Aircotec/etc... While the plug may fit into a phone, i'm very unsure of how they work electrically. Please don't assume just because the plug fits that it should work with any phone. Seeing that each of these sensors only work with specific devices, i think its safe to assume that there is no standard. In addition I don't think android allows that low level access to the phonejack. There might be a possiblity to reverse-engineer these things and hook them to an IO/IO Board. But then again all this is work. And xcsoar is chronically short on manpower. Please feel free to join the development effort and start experimenting. :) - Folken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
